Our use of cookies and log files

We use browser tracking cookies (or “cookies”), which are small text files that are placed on the hard disk of a computer by a Website. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a Website or web server that issued the cookie to you. We also use browser “log files” which record certain information when you visit a Website, including your IP address. To improve your experience on our Website, we use cookies and logs files to: recognize you when you return to our Website; keep track of activity on our Website and remember what items you have clicked on or viewed; study how you navigate through our Website and which Website you request in site searches so that we can improve the design, content and function of our Website; and customize the message, content and delivery of online banner advertisements and e-mails that reflect how you navigate to and through our Website based on your online behavior. We call this “Browsing Data”. We may hire third-party service providers to assist us in the collection and analysis of this Browsing Data collected through cookies, but none of your personal information is disclosed to these third party service providers.

You have the ability to accept or decline our use of cookies. You can refuse cookies by turning them off or blocking them in your internet browser. If you decide to turn off or block cookies, our Website might not function correctly for the purposes that you require.

Security

We aim to provide you with a safe experience. While we have in place certain physical, electronic, technological, and organizational safeguards that are designed to protect the security and privacy of your personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying use or modification,, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or from the Website or via e-mail cannot be guaranteed.

We limit access to your personal information within the Company to individuals on a need-to-know basis.

Your personal information may be transferred, processed and retained on servers in countries outside of Canada, including the United States, and may therefore be subject to laws that do not offer the same degree of protection as Canadian law. While we undertake to protect your personal information when it is transferred to other jurisdictions, the laws of other jurisdictions may require the disclosure of your personal information to governmental authorities under circumstances that are different than those that apply in Canada and are contemplated under this Policy.

Any personal information you provide on linked pages or other sites is provided directly to that third party and subject to that third party’s privacy policy. We strongly encourage you to review these policies at any site you visit. The Policy does not apply to such linked pages or other sites, and we are not responsible for the content or practices of any linked Websites which are provided solely for your convenience.
